Hey guys, my 2011 E63 car won't start after leaving the battery on overnight. I used a 1200amp jump starter - the radio, dashboard, lights all work but the car does not start and would make a "click" sound each time I try to start it before losing power in all the components again. I tried jumpstarting it with another cars battery and got the same result. Components power on but car engine won't start. Any idea what this issue may be or what type of services could help since I don't think AAA can even fix this.

Use the key

Hey, just tried this and unfortunately experienced the same issue. Jump starting the battery would cause all of the lights/components to turn on but using the key to start the car would not work and produced a "clicking sound". Honestly don't have the slightest clue as to how to proceed next other than calling in a towing service to take it to a shop but any help, advice, pointers would be massively appreciated appreciated.

Betcha if you just put in a new battery you'll be fine

Clicking means the starter solenoid is working but not enough juice to turn the starter motor ... try a new battery first

or trickle charge the existing battery for 24 hours in repair mode .. then try starting

I think you have bad cells in your battery

Yep, battery's probably deader than dog poo.
